WgBw Mfrittiarmnn gBMfgg ijjiStxz £w sy m m , ••v% � 2 The choice of subject ap- pears to me to be singularly happy. Think for a moment, of all the years packed into this little volume on “The Heritage of the Spirit of ACC.” Wm. mmm ifS tt 4 ‘. ■ 1 Mirai rtfMS That spirit, tranquil, unper ceived, and apparently forgot- ten in our cities, leaped in a moment into a flame which swept through our lives for four years (or two years) depending upon course concentration. 4 Quickened, revivified, it is in our bones, as it has been instil- led in others since the college was founded in 1902. 6 AMf IPW!N BE LK HAl! 7 iii PjpRN .. ' • .. :.. • The heritage of the spirit ol ACC is a whole made up ot many parts. It is, above all, a characteristic brotherhood among faculty and students. 8 I 9 It is also the place which we have lived for four years; the trees and grass, the birds and squirrels, and brick walkways and parks, which are still ours as they were the graduation classes of 1906, and now all the dearer as they retreat more and more before our ever- rising tide of expansion. 10 12 It is many noble buildings, as we have always known. It is published literary works which ever serve to upgrade the pres- tige of our teachers and stu- dents. It is art in marble, and on canvas, a molded expression of our inner most thoughts. 8� . .v :■ ■V- ,,'i.;f g|i; 13 But, above all, perhaps, it is a heritage of glorious names. After all, it is particular men who create these great things for us. Enjoying and taking full advantage of these great things are the responsibilities of ACC students and faculty today. Our fulfillment of these responsibilities add to the proud heritage of ACC. 14 15 16 17 SPECIAL FEATURES A NEW YEAR BEGINS It’s What You Make Of It The last week of August, 1979 provided for many an end to summer vacations and offered a beginning to new personal and academic relationships. Students entered or returned to ACC with tremendous amount of belongings to move into dorm rooms. All came with an abundance of energy. New students, returning students, parents, and friends all helped in the process of moving in. Once settled, students looked forward to the year 1979-80 here at ACC. ' ' V 'V 20 21 TALENT SHOW If you Can Stand the Attention Everyone has some kind of talent. To prove this point seemed to be the purpose of the annual talent show — whether it was by singing, dancing, or just plan playing around. Also, new students, old students, and friends all made an appearance to join in the support of this event which occurs during the first week of the school year. Whether participating or just supporting everyone will remember the talents of their fellow students. 22 GOD’S WAY BAND PERFORMS Let the Music Take Your Soul The year got off to an early start with organizational plans for Alpha Omega who was responsible for sponsoring the GOD’S WAY BAND. The setting for the concert was outside around the fountain on a late fall night. One may have been just passing through and decided to stop and listen. Another may have come for the sole reason of hearing the group. Whatever, one can say that the event added a touch to the beginning of school. 24 25 Traditional events of Halloween occurred during the cafeteria dinner hour to make the scary day lots more fun. Students and children of the faculty members came decked out in various costumes hoping to win prizes. The lucky costume winners were Family, The Dice, and The Crayola Crayons. After the costume judging, students participated in the action-packed games: bobbing for apples and pie-eating contests. HALLOWEEN Looking Better When Together 26 27 CN£ WAY ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITIES Getting Together A large part of campus life are those activities given by various organizations. Whether it is a Junior Class Ice Cream Social, a Gamma Delta lota Picnic, a Sigma Pi Epsilon Dinner, people always love an excuse to get together. These represent just a few scattered organizational activities reminiscent of this year. 28 29 TURKEY DAY Take it to the Limit The annual event called “Turkey Day” went on like usual this year. Students dressed in all types of running apparel to come and give it their all. The event was marked by success as students madly dashed to the finish line to accomplish their goal. 30 31 32 -____________________- ■ . HEN PARTIES Some fun for the Women Women’s Interdorm Association always sponsors activities to interest and encourage students to come, relax, and enjoy. For some ladies, interest was found in a fashion show. For others, Sadie Hawkins Day was responsible for their captured attention. 33 CHRISTMAS Twas the Night Before Exams Christmas 1979 was a special event on ACC campus, hopefully initiating many traditions for years to come. Good food, good friends, and good fellowship were provided at the last day of classes. Afterwards, around the fountain, Dr. Doster and George Murphy, SGA President, wished all gathered the joy and love of Christmas. In a sense of unity, students and faculty sang favorite Christmas carols. Then, students from various organizations on campus participated in the most beautiful event of ACC Christmas. They lit 300 candles which were arranged along the walkways around campus. Students, faculty, and townspeople ventured out that night to see ACC aglow with the light of the candles and the joy of the season. 34 35 ON TOUR Let Me Introduce You New places, new people, and new experiences became real to members of the ACC choir this year. Under the direction of Mr. Robert Daniel, the choir performed in churches and schools throughout the states of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The students had the opportunity to meet many people and introduce them to the personal aspects of ACC. This experience was a new development for the college but because of its success, hopefully, it will become a tradition for the choir. 36 37 WINTER MOMENTS ARE ALIVE A Good Excuse For A Break The stormy days of Winter bliss finally arrived and settled upon the campus of Atlantic Christian. The campus was totally transformed by such an intrusion and when looking about, one could only find snow, and snow, and more snow. A student may have taken the extra days of vacation to be home with family? to sleep? enjoy the snow? or maybe catchup on school work? Whatever, the occassion was classified under “Special Events” and will certainly be remembered as such. 38 39 d CONCERTS Keeping in Time Musical entertainment has been provided throughout the year by various groups. Nee Ningy, Chalice, and Coffeehouse performers, added a touch of variety to campus life. Folk music, contemporary gospel, and pop songs, was played to the delight of ACC music fans. 41 FOLK OPERA “Three Cheers For Daniel Webster” Entertainment of a different sort was provided by the Atlantic Christian College Department of Music. After much practice and dedicated work, it presented the folk opera, “The Devil and Daniel Webster,” by Stephen Vincent Benet. Enjoyment was experienced not only by those who participated but also those who went to capture a few hours of fun. 42 43 “MERCHANT OF VENICE” Performance is the Difference Stage and Script, a theatrical organization on campus, presented the play entitled, “Merchant of Venice.” The cast, audience, and other drama enthusiasts enjoyed the production and helped to set the pace for future productions. 44 ii SPRING FEST I Just Want to Celebrate Spring at ACC is welcomed much like any other college campus — a new crop of green grass, shorts and sandals, volleyball games, fresbies, sunbathers, empty seats in classrooms, and empty dormitory rooms. Everyone eventually wanders outside to experience a personal touch of spring. The occasion this year was further celebrated by an afternoon of music. A combination of folk, rock, and bluegrass set the mood for a special “Spring Fest.” ■w W I 46 47 48 CONCERT Reflecting Upon a Past The close of the year was drawing near and the spirit of the students began to reflect upon this. The center of campus was the site for another afternoon of entertainment to break the monotony of exams and celebrate the near closing of another year at ACC. 49 HOMECOMING QUEEN 1979-80 GLORIA ZIEGLER Gloria Ziegler, a sophomore from Richmond, Virginia was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1979-80. Gloria, representing Alpha Omega, was escorted by Tom Morris. A deaf education major, she is also interested in jogging, bike riding, and swimming. Her vitality and warm personality can be seen by her interest in working with children and church work. II l l I 50 tui FIRST RUNNER-UP DEE WATERS Dee Waters, a junior from Virginia Beach, Virginia, was first runner-up in this year’s homecoming contest. Dee represented Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity as a homecoming candidate. 52 A senior from Sanford, North Carolina, Nancy Bridges was second I'unner-up this year. Nancy, escorted by Rob Clyburn, represented Women’s nterdorm Association. SECOND RUNNER-UP NANCY BRIDGES 53 FINAL HOMECOMING CANDIDATES The choosing of homecoming queen candidates was one of the many activities carried out in the preparation for the 1979 ACC Homecoming. Each ACC organization was asked to select one person to represent it. Twenty-six girls were nominated, and they and their escorts were presented to the student body during the cafeteria dinner hour. The students, then, narrowed the selection down to ten candidates in a preliminary election. A few days before the Homecoming Dance, the students voted again on their choice for the queen.

The former Hardy Library had recently undergone reconstruction to provide additional office spaces for the administration. At the morning service, Dr. A. P. Perkinson, President of St. Andrews Presbyterian College was the speaker, and the ACC band, choir, and vocal ensemble performed. The remaining day provided departmental receptions, art exhibits, and class reunions. The final events were the Dinner Banquet and the Homecoming Dance. 61 PICNIC AND TENNIS GAME Along with the activities of Parents’ Day, a campus picnic and a tennis match were held. Students, faculty, and guests enjoyed the lunch picnic located in the center of campus. Later that afternoon, the 1979 National Champion Tennis Team of ACC played the Alumni. The National Tennis Team was also honored at the dinner banquet on the same day. 63 HOMECOMING It can be stated that 1979 ACC Homecoming was a success. The time had come again for students, faculty, family, and friends to take pride in ACC. The closeknit family of this campus treasured the moments of the Hardy Center dedication, the National Champion Tennis Team of ACC celebration, and the dance with its crowning of the queen. But most of all, people enjoyed the time of just being together during the presentation of the court, eating at the campus picnic, and dancing to the beat of TIMES SQUARE. Celebration of the day bought out the comradeship of us all here at ACC. r Mm VM M -fiMm mm KMfMk Wl S M « ni A . «K '•S: 64 ASSOCIATIONS ACCOUNTING CLUB President — Pat Fitzgerald Vice-President — Joanne Hines Secretary — Judy Gurganus Treasurer — Stephen Woodruff Program Director — Randy Kinsey Publication Chairman — Romy McCoy Faculty Advisor — Mr. Ashton Wiggs The Accounting Club is a worthy or- ganization for students interested in accounting.

Fred Pearce Business Manager — Tom Stephenson Left to Right: Catherine Edwards; Kathy Pearce; Kay Richey; Tom Stephenson; Kathy Denzler; Susan Burroughs; Fred Pearce; Joel Brame PINE KNOT Each year is unique and important in its own way. When each is gone, it is impossible to reach out and find it again. The yearbook staff tries to preserve some of that year by recording events and information through photographs, copy, and graphics. This volume focuses on the “Spirit and Heritage of ACC.” That spirit, alive and vital yesterday, is also real today. It is the events and people of the past which have made it develop into what it is today and each of us will help make it what it will be tomorrow. This volume also tries to reflect back on college life from the beginning and follow it through each year and the discoveries that each year can hold. Therefore, we, the PINE KNOT staff, give you the 1979-80 yearbook, “Reflections and Heritage of a Past Preserved for a Future.” Staff Members — Front Row: Lori Ball; Amy Casey; Back Row: Kim Roberts; Connie Mashburn; Amy White Editor — Cindy Sullivan Associate Editor — Nancy McLawhorn Photographer — Ken Finch Photographer — Pam Armstrong X-..- . . w, - - •. ■ I mm ■ ■ W vi . .-■ ■ ■. • : ,v. .i , w y ; ■■ ■•■.-■■ ::, : :;.j; ■; . mNRfflm ' : , ■ •:■ :■ IMMWM : ■ H 4' 111 ' tllflllt ■ 5-5 x i 1 1|| i ■nMliwly Htll � ' « INl' ?

The soccer team of Coach Dave Adkins opened their season in quest of a second consecutive CIAC championship. The season opened on a sour note, finishing third in the CNC Classic and then falling in the finals of the Toyota of Wilson Classic to Wofford 2-1. AC continued to struggle for awhile, and at the midway point of the season, were a dismal 4-3-1. But then the Bulldogs caught fire, winning 10 of their last 12 games. Although they did not retain their Conference title, they did manage to win the District 26 crown and the right to advance to the Area playoffs, where they were eliminated in the first round. For the year, the ‘Dogs were 14-5-1 with 10 shutouts, District Champs, and CIAC runnerups. Women’s tennis got off to a tremendous start in the fall winning 9 of 10 matches. The lady netters of Barbara Smith went on in the spring to finish fourth in the CIAC and sixth in AIAW Division Two Tournaments. Led by Tracy Eubanks, Yolanda Rodriquez, and Mercedes Giron, AC finished 13-4 in a highly successful season. Volleyball entered another season, and although the victories were few and far between, the stage has been set for a stronger future. Each gave the 100 percent effort that they were capable of. I 144 Women’s basketball recovered from an off season in 78-79 to end years of frustration in 1980 with their initial victory against High Point, ever since the Bulldogs have been playing women’s basketball, with 17 coming in the finals of the CIAC basketball tournament, 68-63. The championship was the first brought back to AC in 25 years of basketball. Led by Cathy Wall, Sara Leonard, and Tyra Boyd, the Lady Bulldogs finished the ’79-’80 campaign with a mark of 19 wins and 6 losses. The ladies also took third in the regular season CIAC standings with a win-loss record of 4-3. Once again the men’s old nemesis, the bad breaks, kept ACC from having an outstanding year. Several times it seemed that the Bulldogs would finally pull but the first winning season for men’s basketball in over ten years, but th cohesion needed to pull out several close games or to hold on to late leads just were not there. However, the guys gave it their best shot, and that is all that should be expected of them, not just a win every time out on the floor. For the season the men were 11-17 overall, and 5-9 in the Carolinas Conference. Golf found itself in the rough many times this reason, but Coach Cloyd’s duffers made each meet and tournament interesting, if not for the standings, then for themselves. Karl Thurber led the way again this season, followed through the trees and lakes by the rest of the team, consisting of Reid Hill, Joe Bain, Tim Hinnant, Brady Pinner, and Randy Bailey. But the team had several good individual rounds, and ended the meet season with a record of 2-3. In tournament play, there were very few birght spots, as the team took seventh in the CIAC and eight in the NAIA District 26 events. First-year men’s tennis Coach Ed Gwaltney’s battlin’ Bulldogs overcame illness, injury, and inexperience to post a 12-7 regular season mark, for the sixteenth consecutive winning season by the Bulldog netters. The Bulldogs lost head coach Tom Parham following their national championship in 1979, along with several graduating seniors. The fall of 79 also brought the departure of two players but AC went searching and found two new players from Swenden, Johan Sturen and Fredrik Ternstrand. Along with the other players, they propelled AC to third place in District 26 and the Carolinas Conference. The track team had one of its more successful seasons in recent years, and although they posted a dual meet record of only 2-3, the thincloths showed considerable improvement over last year. Several school records fell during the season, due to the unbelievable competition faced during the year. One note of achievement was the first scoring in the District Mett in the past few seasons by an Atlantic Christian representative. Baseball has had its ups and downs this season under new Coach Doc Sandford. A bit unsure of how they would fare under the new leadership this season, AC overcame many problems with pitching and fielding to move into first place in both conference and district play. However, the team was quickly upset in the first round of the CIAC tournament by eventual champion High Point. 145 PEOPLE No more curfews No more chores No more child-parent wars Freshman freedoms! The big break! Finally after years of rules and regulations you are on your own. Regardless of how much freedom you had, the college scene creates new possibilities as well as new problems. There are many new possibilities open to you; sororities, fraternities, downtown, Raleigh, Greenville, parties. Along with these possibilities were problems. Budgeting your time on just how many parties to attend and how much studying to do. Them of course there were the exciting weekends in Wilson. The weekends were a good time for homesickness to set in. Living with a roomate for 24 hours a day creates a great friend or enemy. Then there is making new friends. Friends at home do not seem as important as you meet new friends from every walk of life who begin to mean more and more to you at school. Learning to live without home cooked food may create some problems unless you like peanut butter and jelly. Phone bills seem to dwindle as the year progresses. The freshman year is a year of transition. Learning to cope and depend on yourself: insane, depressions, but mostly, a year of growing up. 148 CLASS OF 83 Sandra Anderson, Kenly, NC Kathleen Armstrong, Neptune, NJ Gracelyn Barbour, Smithfield, NC Angela Barnes, Wilson, NC Durrene Barnes, Rocky Mount, NC Donna Bass, Fayetteville, NC Larry Battle, Nashville, NC Mickey Bissette, Bailey, NC Timothy Bizzell, Princeton, NC Robin Black, Chesapeake, VA Tricia Bonnee, Wilson, NC Nancy Boyd, New Bern, NC Tyra Boyd, Raleigh, NC David Boyette, Scotland Neck, NC Rosa Boykin, Spring Hope, NC Katherine Bray, Va.

They have a tenency to attack the year with vigor and a zest for a new and different year. For the most part, the Juniors become involved in student activities and campus organizations. For some unexplainable reason the Juniors seem to come back to school full of grandiose delusions of the future. Don’t worry though, it isn’t contagious! Their dreams dwindle out before second semester. As Spring arrives, so do seniorities. The semester and the year end with great anticipation of a fantastic Senior year. 164 Tamara Adams, Goldsboro, NC Deborah Aiken, Butner, NC Dwight Ausley, Fuquay-Varina, NC Mary Barnes, Wilson, NC Sallie Barnes, Lucamma, NC Constance Basnight, Elizabeth City, NC David Beddingfield, Raleigh, NC Sandra Beitler, Wilson, NC Vicky Bell, Mt.

The Seniors are ready for a change, but now each must consider which direction he or she will take in life. Questions like, What am I going to do? Where am I going? enter the Seniors’ minds. There is not much left to say except that another chapter of their life will be closed. Whether or not they are ready to leave A.C.C. and their friends, the time has arrived. In order to function in our society, perhaps some advice is in order. Straight from the shoulder, may I say that getting along with others is a problem you must solve. I hope you have learned in these past few years to make yourself agreeable. I hope you have developed your manners so that people like to be with you. If your environment is not all you want it to be, start working on yourself. Straight from the shoulder, have you found out who you are? Do you have any dreams? Do you have any ideals? We all need the pull of an ideal. Ambition, determination, responsibility, follow-through — these can not be measured and no one can give them to you. Mental tests are often deceptive. Your greades may and may not be a true index of your capacity. You may not have awakened yet. Be firm but patient with yourself. Make yourself count! No man has a greater battle than the conquest of himself: to liberate his God given talents. This, then, is the decision and the one single objective in life: to take whatever occupation or profession one may be in — doctor, businessman, farmer, dentist, banker, attorney, school teacher, housewife — and live life greatly, nobly — to live for those ideals that will outlast your own life. As a good citizen earnestly trying to live a good life, you have certain responsibilities if you are to live your best. For example, if you demand wise and honest government in your city, your state and your country, you must recognize that wise and honest government is the product of wise and honest citizens and nothing else. If you demand that crime is punished, you must support honest law enforcement in your community without any personal privileges or exceptions for yourself. If you demand freedom of worship for yourself, you must respect the rights of other creeds. If you demand free speech, you must not suppress it in others, or use it to destroy the government from which that privilege flows. If you would like to live in a community in which you may have pride, then dedicate yourself in a spirit of humility to your own responsibilities in that community. These are practical ways in which to live the good life as a citizen. With God’s help, and with work and faith, I know we will do these things.

It is a place of social development and academic development. It is unique in that relationships can be developed in and out of the classroom. As we work together and play together, we are striving to become the individuals we are and reach those goals important to each of us. 185 a -a «?v •; jr r 4. {fig HONORS CONVOCATION Mildred E.

There is little doubt that the name of Dr. Sarah Bain Ward will stand above all others. Dean of women at Atlantic Christian College for 36 years, she is scheduled to retire at the end of the current academic year. She will be remembered for her devotion to enhancing the character of thousands of young women who have passed through the institution. Not only has she been dean of women, she has been a friend, confidante, counselor, and often a parent-away-from-home for hundreds. Dean Ward came to Atlantic Christian College as dean of women in 1944. She made her home in Kinsey and Harper Halls for the next 17 years. The experience enabled her to develop the standards of living for young women attending the college. ACC women students should be aware it was then that the tradition of the “Harper Hall Women” was established. The Harper Hall Women was a connotation for “a fine lady of culture and refinement.” She believes her efforts were worthwhile. She has been affiliated with the college for four decades. While she has served as dean of women at the college for 36 years, she attended the college as a student for four years. Her family ties with the college go even deeper. Her father, the late George R. Ward, attended Atlantic Christian College at the time of its founding in 1902. Following graduation from Atlantic Christian she taught school in Selma for six years. She returned to her alma mater as dean of women in 1944. During the summer months she served with Goodwill Industries where she made friendships which she cherishes today. REMEMBERING TED FOY He taught us literature, composition, Shakespeare. Yet, he taught us more. He taught us love, life, ourselves. He gave to us of his wisdom, his learning, his mind. Yet, he gave us more. He gave to us love, joy, himself. Death is a builder of walls, an architect of separation. Death walled us from Dr. Ted C. Foy — English professor, Shakespearian scholar, friend. Many things can be said of Ted Foy — that he loved his wife and son, he loved life and lived it fully, he loved his work, students, colleagues; he was a gentle, compassionate man. These statements are all true. They are all Ted. He loved Joyce and Will. They were the bright spots in his life. They brought to him a glow when he talked about them, a smile when he thought about them, and sheer joy when he was with them. He gave all of himself to them. Theirs is a special family — a family united by a love which nothing can extinguish. A legacy of love — this Ted left for his wife and son. He loved life and lived it fully. He would stand at a window and absorb the world. He would walk or ride his bike and become united with the life around him. He seemed to have a deep, almost mystic appreciation for each moment. He joyed and revelled in the simple things. To see him depressed was rare. He lived with the knowledge of his health, the possibility of his death, and he defeated it rather than allowing it to defeat him. He loved his work, his students, his colleagues. He brought to the classroom an enthusiasm not just for Shakespeare, but for the enlightening of minds and the awakening of those minds which lay sleeping. It was a contagious enthusiasm. To students who sought him for help with problems, he listened and guided. To colleagues seeking help with a project or an open ear to a new idea, he was there listening. The Atlantic Christian community was more than a place of work for Ted Foy; it was a larger family which he sought to serve. He served it well. He was a gentle, compassionate man. He was observed one day on center campus with an over-energetic Will. Several times, he gently spoke to Will. Finally, overcome by his own humanity, he spoke sharply to his son. When they walked away, there were tears in Ted’s eyes. He despised suffering and hurt afflicted on anyone. Perhaps that is why he refused to burden us with his problems and refused to inflict upon anyone his worries. We shall miss him. We already do. The words of the poet are ours, Go not yet away from us. A noontide have you been in our twilight, and your youth has given us dreams to dream. No stranger are you among us, nor a guest, but our son and our dearly beloved. Suffer not yet our eyes to hunger for your face. The noontide of Ted Foy’s life has faded into twilight. Thanks be to God, once we basked in the light of his noontide sun.

The teachers tell the students what they, the students, are supposed to know. Education should not be that way. In conversations with several ACC teachers, insights are given into how they view the philosophy of education, the teaching processes, and students. Hopefully, by being aware of these ideas, students can unite with their teachers into one camp: learners. The teachers interviewed see educa- tion bsaically as an on-going process which exposes an individual to the wide spectrum of life, allowing him to become a complete person. A liberal arts curriculum — history, math, litera- ture, art, music, etc — provides this tremendous exposure to all the facets making up life. This exposure, in turn, permits the complete individual to learn how to think, gather information, associate ideas, and apply those ideas. In short, the person learns to know, demand, and achieve what life has to offer for him. ACC generally does allow these teachers to fulfill this stated philoso- phy of education. Within this teaching process, there are many aspects that teachers like and dislike. First, the number one positive aspect is simply involvement with people. The chance to expose students to things they have never experienced is an exciting chal- lenge. Seeing these never experienced things throughout the eyes of students often provide teachers with new perspectives. In addition, the com- bined effort to explore each other’s ideas is a gratifying means of teach- ing. Finally, flexible schedules of classes, meetings, etc. allow teachers to fulfill and seek other interests. Sup- risingly, the negative aspect of teach- ing involed the topic that students hate, tests. Making out tests and grad- ing them are neccessary hassles that every teacher faces. Also, another dis- appointing factor is salaries. It has been stated that the salary ranges of teachers slightly restrict the making of future plans and investment. Too, the salaries do not match up with the time and preparation involves in studying for and obtaining academic degrees. Several teachers interviewed con- sider themselves to be better teachers now than in the past. They have be- come more censitive to studnets’ needs and abilities. They are aware of the need to put advanced academic jargon on the comprehension level of slightly unexperienced students. Fi- nally, they are better teachers today because they know themselves better. In conclusion, teachers, as well as students, are learners. The strijt role- casting of teachers and students is to be avoided. Each of us should respect himself and others. Each can ask questions, contribute opinions, and explore ideas. With this mutual re- spect, we become to know each other well enough to achieve that which is to be accomplished. The end result is the allowance of education to develop learners as complete individuals. 217 HISTORY OF ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE ACC had its beginning in LaGrange when Joseph Kinsey opened the Kin- sey School in 1886. The school con- tinued eleven years with success, and he was offered a location in Wilson. In the summer of 1897, under the super- vision of Joseph Kinsey, the Wilson Educational Association erected a large building: The Kinsey Seminary opened in Wilson, September, 1897. The Seminary continued only four sessions because of the declining health of President Kinsey. 218 KINSKY Mali,. Atlantic Christian Collkck The Disciples began to consider the proposition of purchasing property for the maintenance of their college. Throughout the summer and early fall of 1901 this was written and preached; and when the State Convention met at Kinston, October, 1901, plans were ar- ranged for acquiring the Wilson prop- erty. Within a few weeks afterward, means of financing the enterprise were arranged and the deed for the property was made to the “North Carolina Missionary Convention.” The Board of Trustees chose for the name of the school, “Atlantic Christian Col- lege.” In May, 1902, it was incorpo- rated with J.J. Harper of Smithfield as the first chancellor. The college grew out of several at- tempts to establish an institution of higher learning which would serve them in the field of general culture and education, especially in the ministry and leadership of the church. The re- velation of its history is that of the ef- forts of a church group that was rela- tively weak in members and financial strength to build and maintain a col- lege. The history of this institution may be given in four divisions. The first period may be called the period of introduction. Though there had been before this efforts to estab- lish a school, ACC marks the beginn- ing of a real college effort. With little money, meager equipment, and in- adequate understanding of the task before them, the college authorities set up a curriculum. MAKING US WHAT WE ARE TODAY 220 .watsc The period following the beginning was marked by slow and constructive growths, and these may be called the silent years. There was the change from the spontaneous beginning to a process of building, year after year, a foundation on which to rest the future work. During these early years, from 1904 to 1907, J.J. Harper was president, and here was minifested to a high degree perseverance and conscientious devo- tion to a cause. Under his leadership the school grew in the confidence and esteem until J.C. Caldwell was called to the presidency. For nine years the vigor and consecration of a great soul was woven into the work. His wise leadership and his great faith contri- buted largely to the on going and the permanency of the work. PREPARING US FOR TOMORROW Following Dr. Caldwell, came R.A. Smith of Indiana. Dr. Smith had been a member of the faculty during Dr. Harper’s administration, and in ac- cepting the presidency, he renewed associations and interests of former years. Dr. Smith was a man of large vision and an untiring worker, always striving to advance the interests and enlarge the influence of the college. When in 1919 he accepted a profes- sorship in Texas Christian University, H.S. Hilley became acting president, and the next year was elected presi- dent. The latter years have been full of worthy and fruitful endeavor, and the end of silence was reached in 1922 when ACC was recognized as a stan- dard college. 222 Expansion characterizes the third period of the history of ACC. The outgrowth of what has gone before marks a step in the field of higher education. The period is marked by four outstanding changes, namely: the elimination of the high school and special departments, a four hundred per cent increase in the student body; the growth of the en- dowment fund through the Carolina Enlargement Campaign in 1920, and the crusade of 1927; and a growing recognition of the work of the col- lege, and its future development. The third period has ended and we are facing the fourth period which is probably the most difficult one. Many presidencies have come and gone since 1922. H.S. Hilley, Dr. D. Ray Lindly, Dr. Travis A. White, Ar- thur D. Wenger, Dr. Harold Doster, and many changes have taken place. These came to be instrumental in the growth of ACC. Through their service the college has been greatly blessed. They are held high in the esteem and love of everyone who has come to ACC. We are deeply in- debted to these men for the many things they have already ac- complished, and in the case of Dr. Doster, for the greater things that are to be brought about. Editor ...........
